9.1 Installation overview
Figure 9.1 FLIR G300 pt series camera
The FLIR G300 pt series camera is a multi-sensor camera system on a pan/tilt platform.
Combinations of an infrared thermal imaging camera and a visible-light video camera
are intended for outdoor installations.
The FLIR G300 pt series camera is intended to be mounted on a medium-duty fixed ped-
estal mount or wall mount commonly used in the CCTV industry. Cables will exit from the
back of the camera housing. The mount must support up to 45 lb. (20 kg).
The FLIR G300 pt series camera is both an analog and an IP camera. The video from
the camera can be viewed over a traditional analog video network or it can be viewed by
streaming it over an IP network using MPEG-4, M-JPEG, and H.264 encoding. Analog
video will require a connection to a video monitor or an analog matrix/switch. The IP vid-
eo will require a connection to an Ethernet network switch, and a computer with the ap-
propriate software for viewing the video stream.
The camera can be controlled through either serial or IP communication.
The camera operates on 24 VAC (21-30 VAC; 24 VAC: 215 VA max. with heater) or 24
VDC (21-30 VDC; 24 VDC: 200 W max. with heater).
In order to access the electrical connections and install the cables, it is necessary to tem-
porarily remove the back cover of the camera housing.
9.2 Installation components
In addition to the items included in the cardboard box, the installer will need to supply the
following items:
• Electrical wire, for system power.
• Camera grounding strap.
• Coaxial RG59U video cables (BNC connector at the camera end) for analog video.
• Shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable for control and streaming video over an IP net-
work; and also for software upgrades.
• Optional serial cable for serial communication.
• Miscellaneous electrical hardware, connectors, and tools.
9.3 Location considerations
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet and/or RS-
232/RS-422), and video (two video connections may be required for analog video
installations).
Note Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection, to support fu-
ture software upgrades.
Ensure that cable lengths do not exceed the referenced standard specifications, and al-
so adhere to all local and Industry standards, codes, and best practises.
